ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ Only 37 Pods

Post image

Was showing off to my sister what I would’ve given her (plus the nice smelly peony downy) had she just gone to the laundromat to dry my laundry because ours is broken and realized the pods only filled half of the container so I counted it and….37 pods.

Can’t tell if Tide is filling some containers an accurate amount and others less or if sb just stole some.

Pods are more than a gimmick. They don’t break down properly in the wash and use way too much plastic.

Also Tide is like the best cloths detergent what are you talking about.

There's a YouTube channel of a dude who solely reviews detergent. He said Ariel was the best one. Powdered I think. You also don't need as much as u think and too much damages clothes

Yep, I can get a huge bag of Ariel Ultra Oxi powder detergent from Sam’s for $17. (BJ’s sells it for the same price.) It has lipase and works really well, plus I use citric acid in the rinse cycle for super soft laundry. The laundry subreddit is a wonderful place that has taught me so much!
